Together, they will strengthen execution across sales, customer success, partnerships, and marketing to help organizations stay ahead of emerging risks.
Furfaro steps into the CRO role overseeing all revenue-generating teams worldwide—including sales, customer success, and channel partnerships. Leidwinger, as CMO, will lead the company’s global marketing organization spanning brand, product marketing, demand generation, channel and field marketing, and sales development.

Leidwinger joins HackerOne with extensive experience leading cybersecurity marketing teams and scaling global software businesses.

Her background also includes deep expertise in large language models and AI from her work on IBM’s Big Data team. She brings a strong customer and partner focus, sharpening value messaging and driving measurable demand performance.
“HackerOne is redefining how organizations stay secure in an increasingly autonomous, AI-driven threat landscape,” said Furfaro. “I’m excited to join a company that pairs deep human expertise with cutting-edge AI to deliver meaningful customer impact. Building on HackerOne’s strong partner ecosystem will be central to expanding our reach and empowering more organizations to proactively manage their risk.”
“HackerOne is entering a new stage of growth as AI-led cyber threats reshape the landscape,” said Leidwinger. “Security leaders need to secure faster, prove risk reduction, and adapt to an increasingly autonomous threat environment. I’m energized to elevate HackerOne’s customer and partner value message and show why Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), paired with the unique combination of AI and human adversarial expertise, drives stronger results than anything else on the market today.”
“Stephanie and Stacy join HackerOne at a pivotal moment for our company and the cybersecurity industry,” said Kara Sprague, CEO of HackerOne. “As AI reshapes the threat landscape and modern defense, Stephanie’s experience scaling global revenue organizations and Stacy’s leadership in brand and growth marketing will strengthen every part of our go-to-market engine.

These appointments come on the heels of a strong year of growth and innovation for HackerOne. In October, the company advanced Hai—its AI platform—from a copilot to an agentic AI system and launched HackerOne Code, its AI-native code security product. Today, 90% of customers use Hai’s AI agents to accelerate vulnerability discovery and response. HackerOne bug bounty programs paid out $81 million last year, a 13% increase that highlights the strength of its global researcher community. The company also introduced its Technology Alliance Program to bring leading technology providers into its AI-powered ecosystem.
